+Following patch corrects an API change not propagated to the test for *gmake check*

+Not including patch itself because there are tabs.  But edit file *pango/pangoft2.def*
+and change

+### GObject Introspection
+
+*cElementTree* is changed to *ElementTree* in files
+*giscanner/girparser.py*, *giscanner/glibtransformer.py*, and *giscanner/scannermain.py*.
+
+Using *pkg_alternatives* for a python wrapper fails as a script is generated with
+
+    #! /usr/pkg/bin/python
+
+    import os
+    import sys
+
+A shell script cannot use another shell script as its interpreter.
+What works for now is to manually create */usr/pkg/bin/python* as a symlink to */usr/pkg/bin/python2.6*.
+
+### gtk+
+
+*gobject-introspection* is listed as a dependency but can be avoided.
+Use option *--disable-introspection* to avoid an error
+
+    checking for gobject-introspection... yes
+    ./configure: ${INTROSPECTION_GIRDIR/...}: Bad substitution
